Re/Sounding Jazz conference, Amsterdam, 31 Aug-3 Sept

I am pleased and excited once again to be a member of the organising committee for this event, the—now, wow!—fifth Rhythm Changes international jazz studies conference. Looking forward to it immensely, once more. It’s our third such conference in Amsterdam, the other two being held in Salford and Birmingham. In fact, here is the complete list, which I post here as a brief reminder (to self as much as you) of the effort we as a team of researchers from Europe have put into building a new community of jazz scholars across much of the globe, and the enthusiasm with which that effort has been greeted:

The fifth international Rhythm Changes Conference Re/Sounding Jazz takes place at the Conservatory of Amsterdam from 31 August to 3 September 2017. The event is delivered in partnership with the Conservatory of Amsterdam, the University of Amsterdam, Birmingham City University, the University of Music and Performing Arts Graz, CHIME, and a number of academic publishers and journals. Re/Sounding Jazz is we think the largest event of its kind world-wide: we expect around 150 participants.

Keynote Speakers
